Paul,

I enabled RCU_TORTURE_TEST in 2.6.14-rc5-mm1. My machine took 10+ minutes to boot and let me login. RCU kthreads are hogging the CPU. Is this expected ?

Uhh... It's a torture test. What exactly do _you_ expect it will do? I think the idea is to enable it as a module and load it when you want to start torture testing, and unload it when done. "TORTURE_TEST"s are not for production systems :-D.


Cheers,
